The heat and humidity is fixed in for now and I’m glad that I got out last weekend and on Monday morning to enjoy the cooler temps. I got through my two work days fine and now I’m on my four day weekend. How did people live without air conditioners? It is hard to fathom, although when I was a kid growing up we only had window fans and somehow survived. But for now I am very happy to be indoors with my big screen TV chillin’.
my poor power bill is gonna be huge 
and I was a dumb shit and left it on all day while at work too 
{sighs}
The last really active day for me was last Wednesday when I worked in the office and traveled back and forth by subway. Since then it has been a quick morning trip outside for the newspaper and some grocery or deli shopping and then back inside to my air conditioned apartment with the big screen TV to “veg” until the next morning. Today, I thought that perhaps I could get a walk in early before the heat of the day sets in. Today is forecast to go up to 95 with a heat index well over 100.
Nope, it didn’t happen. I went outside and started sweating and looked at the hazy sky and said to myself………do your errands and get back inside…….and so here I am to veg for another day. But Monday is a work day so I will get up and at em, but not today!

Wow amazing placeI took advantage of the break in the heat and humidity this morning by walking on the Promenade along the East River for a half hour or so before work. The clean crisp air is quite a contrast from “the sauna” we’ve been in for the last stretch of days. There was even a brisk breeze blowing the flowers and leaves. As the old song goes, “What a difference a day makes”.

Hi Treb. Nice to see you on the forum. The Macy’s Fireworks display periodically moves from the East River to the Hudson River. Always in lower Manhattan. New York City has been a welcoming home to openly gay people probably to one degree or another for much of the last century. When I was going out a lot to clubs and such, I would meet so many young people who had moved here from elsewhere in the country for that very reason, and I know it is the same today.
I was just out for my morning chores and while the weather app on my phone says it is 80 F, it sure feels closer to 100.
The streets have a holiday weekend feel, with less folks around, many I’m sure off to cooler places like the beach or upstate or out of state to the country. But this city dweller intends to spend the rest of the day inside with the air conditioner keeping me cool.

Please Chac, don’t be down on yourself. Health, fitness and weight control are a lifetime journey. Six pounds can be easily lost and much more once you get back on track. I hope all forumites had a great Fourth of July weekend.Good to hear that yours is going well!
Honestly it could be better for me. I've had a headache that's been coming and going the last few days. I stepped on the scale for the first time in a few weeks and I've gained 6lbs from the holidays and birthday parties I've been going to the last few weeks and I feel like shit that I indulged and ruined my hard work on my weight loss
Hope everyone else is having fun this weekend!
to humidity. God it was awful today, I went for a walk to hopefully clear my headache (it worked) and I came back all swampy.
